Understanding Sciatica
NERVE IRRITATION
You might have a classic case of sciatic nerve irritation. Sciatic what? Sciatica is pain in your lower back or a shooting pain in the buttock that runs down the back of the leg.
It's a condition which often plagues bodybuilders and strength athletes as the lower back is one of the areas that are most predisposed to injury, given its involvement in a range of compound moves such as squats and deadlifts. The condition is the result of irritation of the sciatica nerve through compression, kinking or physical trauma.
Some of the most common causes of sciatica include:
HERNIATION – a disc protrudes, compressing the sciatic nerve.
DEGENERATION – a disc weakens and partially collapses compressing the sciatic nerve.
